COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONThis is strong beer with harmonic composition of hop bitterness and flavour. Outside of traditional ingredients such as barley malt, hops and artesian water Obolon Strong contains maltose syrup. Due to it this beer has nice light flavour, is strong enough and at the same time has smaller content of carbohydrates. A glass of this beer will be appropriate in the cold period of the year.

500 ml from Pak n Save Sylvia Park, Auckland. Pours clear orange yellow with moderate carbonation. Decent white head that fades quickly telling me to drink this quickly. Aroma of malt, slightly sweet and metallic but the one that comes through for me the most is a bubblegum aroma. Okay. Unusual taste. The alcohol, the heavy taste which isn’t what’s expected from what it looks like. Medium bodied amd well balanced.Warms the chest like I have just taken a shot. Quite a nice experience for my first Ukranian beer.

Effective, businesslike E.Eur strong lager (not terribly adjunct-y, wouldn’t put this in the ML category). Not the head-pounding sledgehammer of pre-Orange Revolution days (and 7.4 abv), this one is more subtle, more caramelly, and more toned-down, but still strong enough to ensure the desired effect among the target population (those willing to pony up the extra hryvnia over Desant) without too much non-malt unpleasantness
